Copenhagen shopping center was tragically invaded by a lone shooter this past Sunday. Right now, police in Denmark do not suspect that the attack is a racially motivated attack.
So far, three people have been fatally shot with three others in critical condition. Police say that there are many other people who have been injured. However, the motivation behind the attack is unknown.
Thus far, unverified footage shows a man walking into the Copenhagen shopping center and screaming aggressively before he began to shoot at multiple shoppers. A witness share that the shooter did not shoot up or down, but was shooting at random groups of people.
To date, police are still investigating the motivations behind the attack and whether the 22-year-old adult was the only one present during the tragic event at the Copenhagen mall. Right now, police have only arrested a 22-year-old male in connection with the shooting.
So far, police have arrested a 22-year-old for manslaughter and are still looking for another person who could have been involved with the young adult.
Presently, the Prime Minister of Denmark encourages people to stand together and support those that have been affected by this attack.
“Denmark was hit by a cruel attack on Sunday night. Several were killed. Even more wounded. Innocent families shopping or eating out. Children, adolescents and adults,”
This attack brought an abrupt end to what has been a jolly week in Denmark. According to SBS, Denmark has hosted the first three stages of the Tour De France cycling race thus far.
